I hate shorthand CLI flags: $ tar xvf $ ls -la $ rm -rf All of them. I hate it.

Inevitably you reach a naming conflict and can't use the first letter of the "long" argument name. Then there's capitalization ambiguity, the shorthand being the second letter of the argument etc. How does anyone remember?

and then there are the two hyphens .. when should you `-v` when should you `--v`. It's just painful

Double hyphen is for long versions. So `--v` is bad practice IMO. It would be `-v` and `--version` for example

with autocompletion in shell like zsh (with omz) or fish, I can see why it's redundant to have shorthand

i prefer `ls -alh` as it gives size in human readable format :) and yea i hate that verbose or version ambiguity :(
